Wordle May 31: The Answer Surprised Many—Did You Guess It?

Wordle players faced a deceptively tricky puzzle on May 31, 2025. The answer for Wordle #1442 was “HABIT,” a five-letter noun that refers to a repeated behavior or routine, and can also mean a specific type of clothing, particularly in religious contexts.

Hints for the day included: the word starts with “H,” contains two vowels (A and I), and has no repeating letters. Many players found themselves stumped until the final guess, as the dual meaning of “habit” added a layer of complexity to the challenge.

For those still building their streak, today’s Wordle proved that even familiar words can keep you guessing until the last moment.
